Coca Cola “Holidays are coming…”
This ad has always been the start of the Christmas advert season for me.

@crosscountryuk.bsky.social my sister is stuck at Birmingham New street and trying to get home to Tamworth. There’s no info and total chaos. any pointers as to whether there will be trains or whether she needs to make another plan? I can find nothing helpful online.

If only there was a way to ensure my hair always looks like I had it blowdried in a salon today 😆

What I don’t understand about the #PostOfficeScandal is that many of the Post masters/mistresses paid thousands of their own money into the system to try and plug the apparent holes. Where did it go? Has anyone actually balanced the post office books to work out the real financial state of PO?

Mining service pilgrimage today. For some reason, despite more publicity than usual, we had a teeny group of 4 of us and only thirty (as opposed to 80 last year) at the service.

I may have started another little writing project this evening. I say started… it started several years ago but I had no idea I’d consider whether it might make an actual book.
Who’s up for a book of reflections that show how the ordinary is anything but with God invited in?!

Blue sky was promised to be a kinder and broader place than the other place. I’ve not been around much lately as it wasn’t really drawing me in… now my timeline is full of trash. Is there anyone out there sharing a bit of sense, love, and genuine broad thinking?!! #wheresMyTribe

I’m having a go at folksy with my knitting. Etsy was getting pricy and not worth the effort… but starting from a standing start so if you have a mind to help, please do favourite anything you like! Thank you!

A stunning evening at Landsend watching the fireworks!

A gloomy day on Poldhu beach yesterday. We are staycationing this year (actual staycation; where we stay in our home and do day trips). It was beautiful, but we were eventually driven off by rain!! #staycation #poldhu #home #cornwall

Watching the #RNLI report on BBC breakfast. I’m so grateful that we have this charity which indiscriminately saves lives at sea. It doesn’t matter why or how people choose to cross the channel. That’s a debate for politicians. When humans need care or rescuing, it’s absolutely what should happen.

@nationaltrust.org.uk I’ve heard a dreadful rumour that you are likely to start sourcing your scones from a central provider rather than baking locally. Please reassure me there are no such plans!!!!

I totally recommend a night away camping with your bestie, a few ciders, and no responsibility (apart from the dog!). In just 24hrs I relaxed and unwound and some local thought I was the local MP (who happens to be an older man and a distant cousin, so that’s a bit odd!!).

What would happen if a PCC decided they didn’t want to use a church building any longer? Is there a mechanism to give it back to the DBF with a “thanks but no thanks”?!

Just over 8 hours all in to get from Redruth to Tooting ready for #BubbleChurch training tomorrow. Here’s hoping that in the future churches can sign up without having to bring a team to London!! It’s been a long day!

Just submitted my annual request for the boys to have an “unauthorised absence” from school for the Royal Cornwall Show. I’d so love it if our governments had a little more grace and nuance with regards school absence. Our county show is packed with educational experience. #Education #NotJustSchool

I hereby propose a ban on all non urgent power tools on Sundays and bank holidays.

Putin says that Ukraine and Russia need to find the most effective moves toward peace. Wouldn’t the first step be to stop shooting and the second step be for Russia to withdraw troops? I can’t Understand how these men don’t hurt themselves more often.
